Cower or Step Boldly
Max (my dog) tends to be skittish. He also has a tendency to cower. Let me preface this to say, he is spoiled – no abuse for him in my household not the one that he came from before. The Continue reading

Suddenlies (Genesis 41)
There’s a principle we see in scripture where the Father bears with us long to move suddenly. Like Habakkuk 2:3 says, “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: Continue reading
All About Relationship (Favor, Attributes, and hearing God)
Too often we take note of outward appearance, circumstances, and giftings to judge God’s blessing or favor (or the lack thereof). But in reality, this system is a flawed form of judgement. And further, the focus is off because really Continue reading
Hope for the Unloved Wife
Since I had my revelatory paradigm shift about Leah (see my post Tender Eyes (Genesis 29:17)), I’ve spent much time pondering her and this new perspective and I feel like there’s a blessing of encouragement embedded in her story for Continue reading
Growing Cold (Matt 24:12-13)

Since I got a strong word of exhortation on Friday, the Father has had me pondering one of His names: El Roi, which means the God Who Sees. This comes from Genesis 16:13 where Hagar has run away from Sarai Continue reading
Releasing Burdens (Psalm 55:22)
We were not intended to carry burdens. The number of stress-related illnesses bear witness to that fact. And yet we continually want to hang on to them… why? Ultimately, I believe it comes down to a trust issue.
Take Action in Worship (Psalm 134:2)
As I was reading the Scriptures this morning, Psalm 134:2 jumped out at me: Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord! It is really not optional whether or not we take action (i.e. raise our Continue reading
